A variety of audio and other pilot preferences can be personalized using enhanced capabilities in FlightLink, the free, proprietary app developed by Lightspeed for the iPad® and iPhone®.

Of course, Zulu PFX also includes the award-winning comfort and advanced features that have made the Zulu family the choice of pilots around the world—made even better.

When combined, these innovations create a dramatic increase in the amount, consistency, and frequency range of noise cancellation, as well as improved voice clarity and music fidelity. In fact, we are confident that the new Zulu PFX headset is the quietest aviation headset available.

Hardware:

Ultimate quiet and clarity — The proprietary innovations and advanced features in Zulu PFX work in concert to deliver astounding clarity and the world's quietest headset.

Comfort — Based on the LightComfort™ design made famous by Zulu.2, Zulu PFX features soft ear seals, exceptional fit, and a head-friendly 14 ounces.

Enhanced FlightLink capabilities — With Zulu PFX, FlightLink not only seamlessly captures cockpit communications for instant playback or later retrieval, it also allows users to set a variety of personal audio and operational preferences.

Auto Shutoff™ — In Zulu PFX, Lightspeed's proprietary Auto Shutoff feature is enhanced with increased sensitivity and user selected shut-off delay, saving even more battery life by automatically shutting down the headset power when not in use.

Cell phone / music connection — The integrated control box auxiliary input for connecting a cell phone, music player or other audio device now has controls for bass, treble, and intercom priority, thanks to the enhanced capabilities in FlightLink.

Stereo or mono — Match audio panel inputs with a quick switch to stereo or mono using the new, easy-to-access external switch.

I tried this at Oshkosh and the new PFX blew me away. I have hearing loss, and have progressed from a Bose X to a Zulu to a Zulu 2 ... each one better than the last for hearing clarity. At OSH they had the new Bose A20 next to the Zulu PFX. Simply no comparison. The PVX sound quality and clarity was markedly better than the Bose and a definite improvement on even the Zulu 2. Some may not need this, but for me it is indispensable I am pre-ordering now.

Ive flown for 26 years. My first ANR was the Zulu 1. I had stepped up from PNR David Clark model that I had from when I first started flying. At the time I thought that the ANR was amazing, but in fairness anything would have been amazing from PNR to ANR. Along comes the Zulu 2 with the trade-up program. I bit and was surprised that the ANR could be better. I really loved my Zulu 2, so when the Zulu PFX came along instead of trading up I held on to the Zulu 2 just in case the PFX wasn't as advertised. The price tag gave me a pause too, but with the ability to return the PFX, I figured that it was worth a try.I fly a 1969 C-182 O-470, great plane, deep throated and loud. I also wear sunglasses on just about every flight. Just about any headset is vulnerable to allowing noise leaks when wearing sunglasses. The PFX limits the noise leaks actively. Thats the only explanation I have for the quietness that I experienced when using them for the first time. The Zulu 2's are good but in my opinion the PFX is a true class of its own. I still have the Zulu 2 and it's for passengers but the PFX is a great step up and to me worth the money as its a totally different experience from all the other big names in ANR including Lightspeed.

So quiet it's scary! My previous headset was a Lightspeed Zulu. I didn't believe the reviews that said the PFX is as big a step forward from the Zulu as the Zulu was from a passive headset. I believe it now. Sometimes they are too quiet. Gone are the engine and prop noises I've grown used to. Did that prop cycle? I don't know, I have to lift an ear cup to find out. I'm not crazy about the larger control box but it lays on the floor and with the new style cord doesn't seem to be a problem. Also, loading the batteries is a bit fiddly, as they want to pop out until all four are in place. All in all, I'm very happy with my purchase.
